Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1887-05-26

The people will feel better and our
boom will grow since the seasonable
rains.
The windows of heaven were open
ed and the rain came.
The farmers, the real estate men
and the merchants, are happy over
the crop prospects.
The man who does not own home
cannot appreciate "The Old Oaken
Bucket" nor any other Of the simple
poems that touch the heart; his chill
dren will never have those ''scenes of
thier childhood which fond recollection
presents to our view" Instead of the
cosy, nesting home, is the cramped
tenement, with its bleak back yard
and its dusty street in front. Instead
of the proud glance from front gate to
gable, with the sweet sense of owner
ship, is the uneasy watching for the
never-failing landlord and rent day.
If our young men will make very
slight effort they can lay by enough
of their weekly ralaries in short time
to purchase lot or two in one Of the
pleasant additions to Great Bend, and
at small outlay can fence, plant to
trees and so improve the same that
in very few years it will be source
of honest pride, and the starting of a
home. Do not delay, boys, but take
our advice, and you will never regret
your action.

THE following editorial we clip from
the Larned CbronOscOpe, staunch re-
publican paper. We are not prepared
to say how many republicans in the
state will endore the sentiment of the
ChroRoSeope, but we are inclined to be-
lieve that they would be vastly in the
minority. Blaine is still the idol of
Kansas republicans: The fact that
Blaine is letting the discussion of his
candidacy continue without entering
his protest belittles the man who has
already received q goodly measure of
his party'S respect and homage. Blaine
cannot be elected, even if he were
nominated, and he ought to know it
by this time. Conditions are not
changed in his favor from two years
ago. His name ought to be dropped
from the list, and if the papers refuse
10 do this, he himself ought to give the
people to understand that he dosen' t
want to jeopardiZe the success of the
party Which has honored him, and
which he in turn honored, by following
further the forlorn ambition of his
life"

In recent letter one of our CORES
p0ndents complains that several mis-
takes are made in his letter. Such
things viii occur, especially i'll daily
paper where the time given to correc-
tion is necessarily very short. In onr
own manuscript there are often errors
calculated to make one smile. y few
days since we were made to say 'cIll-
inmate where it should have been
calaminate; and then we had Habract-
edly'' where we intended abstractly.
We say this in order to show our cor
respondent that it is not through mat
tention that these errors occur, but the
result of hmrying.

Was it Lew JudSOn?

The Greensburg R,tstler gives an ac-
count of how a Coldwater banker beat
a lightning rod man, as follows: The
banker after receiving many PROPOSE
tiOns, agreed to have the rcd put up
and agreed to pay one-third cash, bal
ance in six and twelve months. The
rod was put UP and the man came in
for a settlement. The banker said:
''Well, am ready to give my notes,
but if you will allow me the same rate
of interest l get over the counter l will
pay the cash. The lightning rod man
said that just suited him. Witnesses
were called and the proposition stated
to them so there could be no lodging.
The banker commenced figuring in
terest on thirty days, same as short
time loans. When the last payment
was due the aforesaid lightning rod
man owed the banker Seventy-five
cents. This is the first case on record
where lightning rod agent was down
ed-Kingnldn Courier.

THERE was never time in the his
tory of the knights of Labor when
there was greater need for the mem
bers to heed the wise and conservative
advice of their leader, MI. POwderly.
The country is in no humor to see the
scenes of last year repeated. The
action of 800 men in the coke regions
of Pennsylvania last Friday, beating
and manning men whose only sin was
that they we're laboring for compen-
sation the Knights had refused, Will
not exalt the order in the estimation of
the American people. So long as the
working-men are in the right they are
entitled to the sympathy of the people.
But when they transgress the law they
are nothing but law breakers, and no
organization can long remain respec-
table where such things are cOunten-
anced.

TOPEKA is SO exceedingly moral that

THE long deadlock in the Florida
legislature has been broken by the
election of Hon. Samuel Pasco as T..
s. Senator. Mr.. Jones, the former
Senator, devoted too much time to mat
rimoniaI affairs to suit the people of
Florida, and they retired him.

The law which cannot be, upon con
stitutional principles, enforced, is a
hindrance, danger, demoralizing
idfluence. The law which is not sus-
tanned in principle by the majority of
honest and intelligent citizens is not
one which will further its professed OBJ
ject as fully as would ones which the
mind and heart of the oeple indorSe.

The Herald, published at Indus
try, Kansas, is a new visitor at our

of the progressive school ,and McGregor
himself was not more loyal to his ma
tive heath than it is to Industry. Long
may the Herald herald the matchless
worth of Kansas.

settled Impelled by the necessity of
coming to more speedy settlement, 1t
was determined that the claim and In

be referred to the judgment and de-
cision Of two of the most experienced
land surveyors. Of that day, and In order
10 escape from the evils, which delay
must occasion, the decision of these

Fair starry eyes
A armament by roadside, and by field,
What vision makes you sweetly wise,
What is to you revealed
Fair starry eyes,
The golden sun still shines with ardent
rays,
But econ come winters chill surprise
And melancholy days.
Fair starry eyes
Do sc then know, the law that all must
learn,
That out from death new life shall rise,
That summer must return
Fair starry eyes
With tranquil gaze, spread your good
news afar,
In your sweet eyes all wisdom lies
Ye blossoms OF the star.

Life In the ,.nris scmcra

is possible for a short time to the robust, but
the majority of refined persons would prefer
immediate death to existence In their reel,-
ing atmosphere. How much more revolving
to be In ones self Icing scircr. But this is
actually the case with those in whom the in
activity OF the liver drives the refuse matter
Of the body to escape through the lungs,
breath, the pores, kidneys aud bladder. 1t
is astonishing that life remains In such a
dwelling, DR., Pierce's "Golden Medical

system and renews the whole being.
